Spring Break is the week of March 22-26. No classes during this week.

April 2- Good Friday. No classes.

In order to maintain the health and safety of our students and staff, please be advised that if anyone in your household is being tested for Covid-19, your student(s) cannot come to school and should remain in quarantine until the results are received. The school nurse will need a copy of the negative test results for the student to re-enter school.
If your child is considered a close contact to someone who has tested positive for Covid-19, they cannot come to school until their quarantine period is over.
If your child has a fever or other symptoms of illness, they must stay home until they are fever-free without medication for 48 hours. Please notify your child's school nurse or the district Covid Point of Contact if your child is out for any of these reasons.

The Dardanelle School Board will meet for their regularly scheduled monthly meetings on the second Monday of each month. The next meeting will be held on Monday, February 8, 2021 at 6:00 pm at 102 South Front Street Dardanelle, AR 72834. For additional information, call 479-229-4111.

May 1, 2021 is the deadline for parents to submit school choice applications to the non-resident school district.

School choice applications are available at the administration office located at 102 South Front Street in Dardanelle or by calling Kim Witt at 479-229-4111.

What is my “resident district” or “nonresident district” for school choice?
The resident district is the traditional public school district your student is assigned to attend based on where you live. The nonresident district is the district in which your family does not live. School choice is the process of requesting a transfer for your student from the district in which you live to a district in which you do not live.

July 1, 2021: The superintendent of the NON-resident school district will notify both the parent and resident school district in writing as to whether the student’s application has been accepted or rejected.
